Español: La marcha de los caballeros

Una pintura oscura y de trazos sueltos que muestra caballeros montados con lanzas en alto, avanzando por un bosque brumoso de árboles sin hojas y maleza enredada. Predominan los tonos ocres y grises, con una cerca de madera rota en primer plano y un cielo pálido y arremolinado arriba.

Português: A marcha dos cavaleiros

Uma pintura escura e de traços soltos mostra cavaleiros montados com lanças erguidas, avançando por uma floresta enevoada de árvores sem folhas e vegetação emaranhada. Predominam tons ocre e cinza, com uma cerca de madeira quebrada em primeiro plano e um céu pálido e turbulento acima.
